The former president is yet to officially announce his intention to run for election again but had still been the bookies' favourite to win in 2024, until this election. Why aren't all states having elections? i The six states with a split Senate delegation during the last two years was the fewest in more than a century, something which the Pew Research Center said is a "reflection of the partisan polarisation that has reshaped American politics" in recent decades.Īs Pennsylvania now has two Democratic senators we could be on for a new low this year, unless the Republicans win in Georgia. This map shows each district as the same size as each other, which can give a better sense of the balance of power across the country. Usually that's in city areas where there's a denser population. What is the House of Representatives and how are seats allocated? iĪlthough the map above looks fairly well soaked-through in Republican red, that too can be misleading.Įach seat has a similar population to each other, but some are much smaller than others geographically. These gains, for both parties although benefiting the Republicans overall, don't necessarily reflect the shifting of Americans' political preferences but the adjustment of the American political map. Many of the seats listed as 'gains' are new districts entirely or represent geographies almost unrecognisable to ones they've replaced. There have been gains for the Republicans in certain seats, a few across New York state for example, and perhaps most notably Jen Kiggans defeating January 6 investigator Elaine Luria in Virginia's battleground 2nd district.īut much of the picture is muddied by the redistricting that has taken place since the 2020 election.
